The Gentle People
An Inside View Of Amish Life
Dr. Joe Wittmer, Distinguished Professor of Counseling at The University of Florida, Gainsville, was born and raised Old Order Amish. Although he is no longer Amish, all of the other child and adult contributors to the book are current participants of the Amish faith. The 175,000 plus Old Order, horse and buggy Amish Americans have been largely overlooked by historians and social scientists. Authors who have written about the Amish generally view them as people of great integrity and goodwill, but have often exploited their uniqueness and picturesqueness. Dr. Wittmer writes with authority about their genuine values, ways, customs and problems with America's zest for progress. The book covers such additional topics as: The Amish Family System, Child Rearing, Their Plan of Education, and Courtship, Marriage & Death, along with many other aspects of the horse and buggy Amish world. People of all ages will enjoy reading about this austere, peace-loving sect.
Dr. Wittmer writes that it is difficult to measure the total effect that America's progress has on the Amish who are committed to a primitive technology in the mist of a modern world bent on secularization. However, the gentle Amish are a tenacious people and are intent on maintaining their way of life
